Topic:
Are You Ready to Fly into Oshkosh AirVenture 2026
Brief Description:
AirVenture (Oshkosh) is a month away! Are you ready for the flight? Do you fly in VFR or IFR? Do you have any suggestions for other pilots on how you prepare? Do you have a paper copy of the Notam booklet?
We will review the procedures and look at some gotcha's to be aware of. Gary Baker has flown into Oshkosh almost every year since 1980, both VFR and IFR. He has also flown right-seat in the EAA Ford TriMotor many years and has seen most, but definitely not all, possible situations that come up during the flight. He will offer his knowledge gained over the years. We will also cover a suggested syllabus for an Oshkosh flight review.
Anyone who has flown in more than once is sure to have a good tip for others. Please bring your own suggestions.
Even if you don't attend this meeting, please Read the Notam, Print the Notam and Download the Notam! And then read the Notam again. And, again. Study it until you are very familiar with it, please!
